Chapter 4: Finally, he gets to see what he has just missed! And… it just happened…
Later in Axis's lobby…
Eriol was patiently waiting as he is sipping his coffee while reading a magazine. Xiao Lang was sitting next to Eriol with Kevin who had decided to join in for a lunch.
"Eriol, can you tell me who are we waiting for? You know that we have been sitting here for some time and I never like waiting for someone. It's supposed to be vice versa."
"Patience cuz. We're only waiting for Meilin besides your mother has also asked us to wait for our soon-to-be wives too. So… be patience… though I don't like the idea of that too…" Kevin who was drinking his coffee looked up smiling as he thought Xiao Lang is finally getting married to Felicia and so is Eriol with some girl of his.
"Woah, Eriol's finally getting married. So Xiao Lang, you have finally decided to marry Felicia? Finally! I kinda missed her since she last came to US. So, where is she anyway?" Kevin asked.
"Here." Felicia said as she walked near the three of them and before Eriol and Xiao Lang could say anything. Xiao Lang wished what Kevin said about him will happen but sadly, no.
"Hi. How's dad?" Felicia asked as both of them hugged each other.
"Pretty fine. He just got back from Mexico with Uncle Ronald. They're heading England this time."
"Really? I miss dad so much!" Felicia said as she sat next to Xiao Lang. Xiao Lang smiled hearing that as he wrapped his hands around Felicia's waist.
"We'll fly to England to visit your dad if that's makes you happy." Syaoran stated.
"Great!" But not for long…
"Xiao Lang… you know that your mum will not let you to do that, right?"
"Ah! I don't care. Felicia has given a good idea yesterday after mum has blasted me up last night. I'm going to marry the African she wanted for me and I'll divorce her in half a year since it's the fastest time I can file for a divorce." And that certainly made Felicia smiled once more.
"Alright, I don't get it. Xiao Lang, you are not marrying my sister, are you? And Eriol, you and Xiao Lang are going to marry Africans!" Eriol and Xiao Lang immediately glared at Kevin.
"Heck Kevin! Shut the fuck up! You want this whole hotel to know that we are going to marry Africans? And-" Felicia chucked and Kevin kept quiet as they heard what Xiao Lang and Eriol chorused together being interrupted by Yelen.
"Xiao Lang! I expect you and Eriol in your best manners!" Yelen said as Meilin and Sakura with Tomoyo walked near them. (I assured you that Sakura and Tomoyo heard nothing from their conversation) Xiao Lang looked up and saw Sakura and Tomoyo which he still presumed that they are the Meilin's guests or friends. Xiao Lang nodded.
"Your soon-to-be wives are not coming today." Yelen said and Sakura with Tomoyo were wondering what Yelen said.
"Yar yar. I don't even care about it." Xiao Lang said back.
"And Meilin, who are they actually? They're not from any companies, right?" he continued when Meilin with her friends sat opposite them. He was wishing Meilin's answer is the same as what he was expecting. Enough of embarrassment already he thought.
"They are not from any companies. They are my friends from Japan which means you should make sure the next you get into my office, you should knock before entering. Anyway, Sakura, Tomoyo… these two are my cousins Xiao Lang and Eriol. And Eriol, Xiao Lang, meet Sakura and Tomoyo. They came here earlier." Meilin introduced as she pointed at them.
"So, what exactly are they doing here?" Eriol asked.
"They are here to get married to be part of our family." Yelen answered for Meilin knowing that Meilin will not know the whether to used the actual answer or the fake one. Eriol and Xiao Lang looked at each other and Felicia with Kevin was surprised hearing that.
"And who are they marrying?" Xiao Lang asked curiously.
"Your cousins as you should know." Xiao Lang and Eriol nodded slightly not noticeable.
"Hi. I'm Eriol Hiraigizawa. Nice meeting you." Eriol said as he shook his hands with Tomoyo. He had realized that she was the one that his conscience has shouted him to stop walking and turned to see. Tomoyo smiled to him. Eriol could have die without any regrets when he saw Tomoyo's smile. He could say that her smile is so perfect and the moment his eyes landed on Tomoyo's lips. What was holding him back from pressing his lips upon those perfect luscious pink lips? Tomoyo actually felt almost the same except that she was eyeing on his lips but his body. From what she has observed on Eriol's body, she could presume that he worked out a lot. Thinking what she has just thought was wrong, she shook it off from her head and the same goes to Eriol.
"Um… Tomoyo, Eriol. I think you both can release each others hands now." Meilin said but in her mind… she was up to something. How anyone could resist her cousins especially her two favorite ones? And how anyone could resist her two new Japanese friends and she could see Kevin is dying to shake his hands with Tomoyo. Tomoyo and Eriol quickly released each others hand and didn't they realize that their hands are slightly in red.
"Nice meeting both of you." Xiao Lang said casually as he eyed on Sakura. In his mind, Sakura was a beautiful girl with amazing waist length auburn hair that was completely natural. She had the amazing emerald green eyes which Xiao Lang always wanted to see. She had a perfect body with the right curves where they are supposed to be. And boy, with that he looked at Felicia. It's true that he shouldn't compare some Meilin's friends with his own girlfriend but Sakura's body was way better than Felicia and he didn't want to think about that. Felicia is good but to him, Sakura was better.
Sakura nodded as he looked at Xiao Lang. She felt that he's like a strong magnet that really attracts her attention but somehow she knows that Xiao Lang isn't supposed to be the person you should be messing with. He as Sakura thought as a feeling of being mean and cold when you are near him especially the way he looked at people and that scares her. Nevertheless, it is true and for real that he was handsome with his messy chocolate brown hair and his stunning amber eyes. His entire demeanor was slightly different from the man right opposite him and Eriol or any other man she knew in her life, his whole bearing was... cold and mysterious. Yet, no matter how much he appealed to her, he still leave a scary mark on her.
"Alright. Sakura, Tomoyo. This is Xiao Lang's fiancée and secretary, Felicia and her brother, Kevin." Yelen said before Sakura and Tomoyo greeted them. Felicia and Kevin did the same before Meilin voiced out that she was hungry.
"Alright now, I would like to talk to Xiao Lang and Eriol personally so, would five of you wait in the café for a while?" They nodded as they left that place. Yelen turned and faced Eriol and Xiao Lang.
"Xiao Lang, I expect you to be more careful with your words and Eriol, Fong will be coming in 40 minutes and the bad news I have is he's going to ask for the proposal when he arrives."
"What? He's coming here now in 40 minutes? Aunt Yelen, why didn't you tell me earlier? I haven't even prepared the whole proposal and he's coming in 40 minutes! You gotta be kidding me, man!" Yelen looked at Eriol.
"You should have done that last Thursday. What were you doing for this whole week?"
"Well, you should realize that you sent Xiao Chen back to the headquarters and all his projects are all under me now. Did you think that I'm a 24/7 robot doing 2 people works which I had already 3 projects for myself and Xiao Chen had 2 projects which I had now altogether 5 projects and that damn Xiao Lang is only doing that donkey's project and Mr. James's one. Hell, I'm not a robot!"
"Eriol, shut the fuck up and stop complaining! My projects are worst than yours especially the bloody due date of the projects."
"And stop making mum to hand over some of yours to me…" he whispered right to Eriol. Eriol smirked before answering him back.
I knew you are up to that, Xiao Lang… Sometimes, I think you're good for nothing…
"You know Xiao Lang… that's what I wanted her to do right now." Xiao Lang turned and looked at him.
"You cruel man treating your cousin like this! I truly despise this kind of man." Xiao Lang said in a joking tone. Eriol laughed as he put his hand on Xiao Lang's shoulder.
"Count me in and now, you are going to help me with Fong's proposal!" They left a stunned, unspoken and confused Yelen standing right there who was wondering what has just happened.
"And oh… please tell Felicia and others that we can't join them for lunch." Xiao Lang said to Yelen as they walked to the elevator. Yelen nodded as she walked to the café. The moment she reached the café, Felicia walked up to her. Looking behind her wondering why Xiao Lang isn't with her, she asked politely, "Mrs. Yelen, would you please tell me where Xiao Lang is?" Felicia is a little upset with Yelen because of her not wanting her to marry Xiao Lang but that African stranger.
"I'm sorry to say that he and Eriol will not be joining you for lunch. He has to help Eriol with Fong's proposal since Fong is coming soon. Please tell others for me. I have to go now to the HQ, enjoy your lunch." Felicia nodded as she looked on Yelen walking away. Felicia walked back to where Sakura and Tomoyo with Meilin were. As for Kevin, he went away as he received an important call so he had to leave.
"So where are the two of them?" Meilin asked while she sipped her coffee.
"Mrs. Yelen said that Xiao Lang and Eriol have to do Mr. Fong's proposal since he's coming now-"
"What! Fong is coming now and I know Eriol haven't even start with Fong's proposal and Fong is one of our important clients. Oh no…" Meilin turned to Sakura and Tomoyo before she continued.
"Sakura, Tomoyo… would you both stay here for a while? I need to help Xiao Lang and Eriol with Fong's proposal. You see, I was following things on Fong with Xiao Chen- he's one of my cousin before aunt sent him back to the HQ so now, all Xiao Chen's project when to Eriol and he's not really familiar with Fong's stuffs and I don't want Eriol to cause the company lose Fong so-"
"We understand that, Meilin. Don't waste your time explaining to us. Just go help Mr. Li and Mr. Hiraigizawa. You too, Felicia-san. Since Tomoyo and I are alone, would you mind us following you two?" Meilin and Felicia nodded. All for of them got up and headed the elevator to the highest floor. When they reached there, they went to Eriol's office. Right there, Xiao Lang was sitting opposite Eriol as he entered the data's Eriol has passed him. Eriol was busy getting his other half done proposal into his laptop. He has actually done the other half quick some time ago so he doesn't have to worry much.
"Meilin, Felicia, what are you doing here and Tomoyo-san and Sakura-san, what are you both doing here? Aren't you four in the café having lunch?" Eriol asked, quite surprised when they actually entered his office. Xiao Lang turned around just to see Felicia has already stood behind him. He smiled a little before getting Felicia to get some files. Meilin replied Eriol and Sakura with Tomoyo just sat at the couch in Eriol's office.
"Eriol, it should be like this! NOT that. Fong wants a good one! Get out and let me do the rest!" Meilin ordered but sounded more like a statement.
"Meilin, who the hell do you think you are with that tone? If you just want to keep Fong's ass for the company, shut your mouth awhile and stop telling this should be like this or that. Now, just say out what's right and good." Eriol ordered Meilin back.
"Wasn't that what Meilin has been doing the moment she came in? I mean, she has been telling us what Fong's proposal required since she really came in just now." Xiao Lang said and Felicia, who's sitting next to him helping him with finding some important statements in the files, amused a little.
"Eriol, that's why I always had Xiao Lang as my favorite cousin although that only happens when he find things funny which went wrong."
"Whatever. Now what was Fong wanted for his new hotel thing? Is it another new wing or he wants resorts in it?" Meilin and Xiao Lang shrugged.
"None of you know?"
"As if you knew. And he will not tell about what he wants. He wants to hear out what we would propose for him."
"Um… excuse me… but are you talking about Mr. Fong Chen? One of the famous hotel owners in Asia?" Sakura asked sort of interrupted them too.
"Yes. Apparently, I do think that he's one of them which I had no idea to its least."
"Well, actually I think he wants resorts." Sakura said. Meilin glanced at her then to Tomoyo with the look, 'is she for real or she's just joking?'
"She's for real, Meilin. She works in a magazine company… remember? Her company did an interview with Mr. Fong when he came to Japan for the opening ceremony of his fifth hotel in Japan." Eriol and Xiao Lang turned and looked at her which is referring to Sakura.
"You know?" Sakura nodded.
"I was assigned to take some of the picture of his hotels and resorts in Japan for that interview though I wasn't in charge with it."
"I thought you are taking pictures of flowers and people?" Meilin asked and confused a little.
"Yes but, buildings and architectures of the building- a little are one of them too but I'm mainly in the flowers and people. And I did talk with Mr. Fong as he seems to be one funny and smart one. He wished his last hotel he would want to have is a resort by the hills and fields or flowers which he told me. He wanted it in Greek style which he wants grand and elegant."
"Are you sure that she wasn't joking?" Eriol asked looking at Meilin and then back to Sakura. Xiao Lang and Felicia was amused of Eriol, wondering when he will stop thinking about Sakura joking.
"I guess we could try. I mean, why would she want to joke about this big serious thing for us?" Eriol shrugged before answering back.
"I guess we can try that. But now… we only left half an hour. And how the hell do I get Greek style theme?"
"I can help in the theme idea of Greek. I know some homepage which are really good." Tomoyo voiced out. Eriol smiled.
"I'll be happier than anyone else here." Tomoyo smiled as she got up and walked to Eriol helping up in finding a homepage of Greek style themes. They were busy. Walking around getting the financial plan ready, the hotel idea and the only thing that is missing was Sakura. She wasn't helping them. She didn't know what she could do. Meilin was busy with the financial plan while Xiao Lang and Felicia were inserting all the data while Eriol and Tomoyo were busy with everything. Sakura knew nothing and she thought that she was just nothing and felt slightly like an outsider which she didn't want to feel like one. She got up, walking out from Eriol's office and saw Eriol's secretary, Kim-Eun was there with two phones. She was busy contacting who ever Sakura thought might be the hotel's client but not soon, she put down her phone.
"Hi." That was the only thing Sakura said before Kim-Eun greeted her back.
"Um… aren't you supposed to have lunch now?"
"Yes but I haven't finished the preparation in the conference room so I guessed lunch is out today if I couldn't prepare things in time." Sakura gave a little thought that why not help her out.
"Um… why you like me to help you? You can have lunch most probably by the time we finish preparing for the conference room…"
"You would? I mean, you don't have anything to do?"
"Mmhmm… I've nothing to do. Come on now…" Kim-Eun nodded and told her what she needs to get and where she need to get. Kim-Eun and Sakura were rushing up and down in 37th and 38th floor since the conference room is in a floor lower. Setting up the overhead projector for later use, Eriol and Xiao Lang with Felicia and Meilin and Tomoyo walked in. Surprised to see Sakura with Kim-Eun as they wondered where Sakura went.
"Why are you here, Saku?" Tomoyo asked.
"Well… I felt a little left out since all of you are busy with Mr. Fong's proposal and even Tomoyo who doesn't work in this too helped out and since I'm don't even know what are you all actually doing so I saw Mr. Hiraigizawa's secretary haven't got her lunch so I thought helping her so she can have her lunch quickly and we just prepared what you all need and we ended up almost finish."
"That is one long answer, Ms. Sakura and thanks anyway. I think Xiao Lang and I can do the rest. Kim-Eun, thanks but you can't have your lunch right now. Fong has just called that he's coming here in 10 minutes and I hardly think that you can eat in 10 minutes so I'm sorry."
"That's alright, Mr. Eriol. I'm quite used to skipping lunch after working with you." Kim-Eun smiled as she pulled the white board down. Eriol smiled knowing how right his secretary answered. Xiao Lang placed his laptop down and Eriol's before pushing up his tie.
"Felicia, did you see another cufflink of mine? I was having it earlier and it went missing." Xiao Lang asked when he realized that his cufflink on his left end sleeve was missing as he glanced around the conference room.
"Did you take it off when you're in Eriol's office? Or somewhere else?"
"Maybe I did. Felicia, can you help me find it? It's most probably on Eriol's table or not." Felicia nodded as she walked out from the conference room.
"Why don't I go and prepare something?" Sakura suggested.
"Sure. I would prefer white coffee and Xiao Lang wants black one and anything for Mr. Fong. Just get something nice for Felicia and Kim-Eun. What would you like, Ms. Tomoyo?"
"No thanks. I'm not supposed to be here anyway, in the conference room when you are having a meeting. You know, I'm an outsider and I have nothing to do with Mr. Fong's proposal."
"No I need you to help me out with it. So please would you stay and help me?" Eriol said with a little sign of hope. Tomoyo gave a little thought before answering yes to Eriol. How could she stand in making this person unhappy? It's only the second day in Hong Kong and she has just met Meilin's cousins whom she thought Xiao Lang and Eriol were quite a charm especially Eriol. She did wonder earlier that she guessed Meilin's cousins must be those pretty and handsome ones since the three of them looked good enough.
"Sakura pretty sure knows what I want." Sakura smiled as she walked out to make coffees and teas. She went and boy, she took such a long time to make them. Rushing back with a big tray with coffees and teas she walked in without knocking. Eriol and others were not there as they went down to the lobby waiting for Mr. Fong. Placing down the right drink at the right place she was ready to go out until she tripped herself at the door. Falling flat on her butt, she looked what made her tripped. It was nothing but just the wire which connects the projector to the main switch. Feeling a little silly for tripping she got up until she saw something shiny under the table. She crept down and crawled straight to the shiny thing. It was the cufflink that Xiao Lang said he was missing.
No wonder Mr. Li couldn't find his other half cufflink…
She picked up the square cufflink with his surname but she was too silly that she remained her position right under the table when she heard the door opened. She felt like a thief that she didn't realized that she actually crept right in the middle of the table. Hearing Eriol's voice, she realized that it was too late to get out and she stayed there. Sakura made no noise and heard Eriol explaining and explaining and soon, somehow too bored she actually slept.
"… so, in this new resort… there will be-" Eriol was interrupted suddenly by Xiao Lang getting up. Everyone turned and looked at him.
"Excuse me. I do not have any intention to interrupt so please continue." Xiao Lang said as he squatted down to pick his pen up. Eyes were quickly widened when he saw Sakura sleeping with her head looked down on her leg which she brought near her chest. There Xiao Lang saw, she was sleeping quite peacefully. Didn't want to wake her up or surprise everyone in telling that Sakura is sleeping under there or interrupting Eriol, he got up and act as if he saw nothing but just picking up his pen. An hour or two or even three hours later, finally, the meeting is over and everyone went out from the conference room. Sakura was still sleeping there until she accidentally hit her head on the side of the table. Opening her eyes and looked around, she realized where she was. Still under the table.
"Hoe! Where's everyone? They've gone so fast? Tomoyo is gone too." she said to herself as she took her phone out from her pocket. She sighed as the battery level was low.
"Not you too are bullying me. How am I supposed to know how do I get back to the house?" Sakura said to herself once more. Then she realized that she was still holding Xiao Lang's cufflink and hasn't given him back. Walking out from the table, Sakura looked up and brushed the back of her jeans. Immediately she gasped seeing the figure standing in front of her.
"So, you're finally awake?"
"Mr. Li! Why are you still here? I thought everyone went back."
"You don't have to care about my reasons. So, how was the sleep? You sure found a good place to sleep." Xiao Lang smirked and Sakura felt like strangling the person in front of her. Though his looks is good but the way he has just talked to her is just makes her felt like that.
"Oh yes! The place is very comfortable. Very, very indeed. You should try it, Mr. Li. And I assure you that you will not want to get out of there."
"Oh I won't. Trust me. It's for cockroaches." Sakura felt annoyed with his answer while Xiao Lang felt she's one fire that knows how to talk back. Xiao Lang continued.
"Ms. Tomoyo thought you went back since I forgot to tell her that I saw you sleeping there. Then
I thought of calling Meilin to send you back but I guess that you can go back by yourself."
"Yes I can and I would!" Sakura answered back as she boldly walked out from the conference room. Xiao Lang was still smirking as he walked out from the conference room and headed to the elevator. Sakura walked in and Xiao Lang walked in too. Both of them pressed '1' and Sakura moved her hand away. Xiao Lang smirked once again.
"I'm not a really a poisonous animal if you had some knowledge on who's standing next to you."
"Oh yes I know who is standing next to me, Mr. Scorpion."
"Ah, Mr. Scorpion. I have more pet names now." Xiao Lang replied back.
He's more annoying and irritating then how he looked earlier…
Whether in the lobby or in Mr. Eriol's office…
"Whatever Mr. Cobra." He is not what Sakura has thought in the afternoon. Not mysterious not appealing but the most irritating man she has ever seen in her life. He's probably what Sakura could conclude as… annoying.
"I would much prefer if you call me Mr. Wolf." Sakura once again said nothing more and Xiao Lang said nothing to answer her back. Pulling his tie off, he unbutton his jacket and the first two button of his shirt.
Realizing what Xiao Lang just did she shouted, "What are you doing, you maniac!" Xiao Lang raised his eyebrow. Thank goodness there're only two of them in the elevator or else, the next day he opens the newspaper, he'll be on the front page stating that the Li Xiao Lang, the heir of Li's Corp. is a mad maniac who wants to take advantage on a foreigner in his own hotel or worst- in the elevator itself.
"Are you short-sighted? Can't you see that I'm unbuttoning a few buttons of my shirt?"
"Of course I can see what you are doing but why are you doing that?"
"Well, I'm off work now and you really don't expect me with my tie up 24/7 and my shirt all buttoned up, don't you?" Xiao Lang nevertheless never has expect himself explaining so much to a person especially to a 'she' who he merely knows for a day or even less than half a day. He was sure that she should be proud to hear explanation from the 'great' Li as he seldom does. But of course, Sakura doesn't feel proud or whatever Xiao Lang expect her to feel most likely as she barely knows him and vice versa. He has already showed the mean side of him so how could Sakura be proud for his 'explanations'.
Ding!
Sakura didn't answer him but walked out. Xiao Lang didn't bother about her answers anyway, walked out from the hotel as the hotel employees bowed at him. His car was already there as the car jockey has parked his car right in front of him.
"Come on now, Ms. Sakura. I have no time to waste. I'll send you back since it's my fault for not telling Ms. Tomoyo that you are still sleeping under the table." That was a strange act from Xiao Lang where he himself thought what was he doing? And why would he say that? Most of the time, if he's the one who will not bother helping some people, most of all… in terms of accidentally cause into troubles by him.
"Really Mr. Li, you don't have to be so kind. You don't look like one much. You look colder and more mean. After all, I believe that you don't really want to have a cockroach to be in the same car as you, right? You know, cockroaches are dirty so I'm afraid I'll dirty your car and you might use insecticide to kill me." Sakura said although she didn't want to be mean. After all, he was just being nice but being nice was what Sakura thought he's fake.
"Yes, you have just given me a good suggestion that I might use it. Just get inside the car. You can't really get a taxi at this time." And Xiao Lang was perfectly right. The streets are busy with cars as people started honking at one another. Sakura sighed.
"Are you sure?" Xiao Lang nodded as he started his car. Sakura got into his car reluctantly but thankful that she got a free ride.
"Thanks." Xiao Lang said nothing as he drove his car. Sakura was wondering if he knows where she lives and obviously Sakura has no idea at all but she gave her trust to Xiao Lang, knowing that he knows where he is going. Then she remembered just when Xiao Lang stopped his car when the lamppost showed red light.
"Mr. Li, your cufflink." Sakura said as she took out Xiao Lang's cufflink out from her pocket.
"You found it? Where? Felicia couldn't find it in Eriol's office."
"Of course, Felicia-san couldn't find in Mr. Eriol's office. Your cufflink was in the conference room right under the table."
"So, that's why you were under the table?"
"Yes, I crept underneath to pick it up and when I was about to get up, all of you came in and I thought that I should stay there until everything finished but I-"
"You slept peacefully there?" Xiao Lang continued for her and Sakura nodded with a little embarrassed of her and being silly too. Xiao Lang continued driving and none of them said anymore. Soon, Xiao Lang finally reached Sakura's house.
"Thanks, Mr. Li and have a good night." Sakura said as she got out from his car and walked into her house. Xiao Lang said nothing but drove away.
He just so cold and mean but I…
The moment she walked in the house…
"Sakura! Where did you go?" Meilin shouted. Sakura was surprised of her presence here especially now. But where's Tomoyo, she wonders.
"I was in the hotel. Where's Tomoyo?" Sakura asked as she walked into her room for a change of clothes.
"She's taking a shower. She called me and told me that you're still not back and she was dead worried about you getting lost. So, I came and why are you in my cousin's car?" Meilin said whatever she thought Sakura wants to know and now, it's time for Sakura to answer back what she wants to hear.
"Well, I told you that I'm in the hotel and when I realized that all of you gone, I didn't know how to get back here and Mr. Li gave me a ride." Sakura said truthfully but not in details. She had no idea why would she not telling her in details but something in her mind told her to do so.
"Oh." Meilin replied knowing that there's more but she didn't say it.
"And yes, Meilin… I just want to know that how come Mr. Li knows where I live. I mean he doesn't even know me but how come he knows how to fetch me back here."
"That one… I had no idea…" Meilin said answering back as she silently added when Sakura walked out from her room. "…Impressive Xiao Lang. I'm wondering how did you know too since I remembered that I never tell anything about Sakura. And when I get back, I'll know about it."
Sakura's head suddenly popped out at the side of the door before she walked into her room, "Did you just say something, Meilin?"
That really gave Meilin a surprise.
"No, don't worry. There's nothing. Come on now, I bought some take-away. Care to have some?" Sakura nodded, Meilin smiled as they both walked out together. Tomoyo was already right there sitting, waiting for them. While they were eating, much to Meilin's surprise that Tomoyo asked a question she wasn't expecting…
"So Meilin, how exactly does our future husbands looks like?" Tomoyo said without realizing that she has just slip the thought out. And as for Sakura, she choked the moment she heard what Tomoyo has just asked. Meilin quickly help Sakura to get the food down in her throat and the moment she did it…
"Tomoyo, why do you even bother asking Meilin such a question! What makes you think Meilin will answer that question? And future husband? Just when did you want to change from 'four words' into 'two words'? Are you going to get rid of the future word if you see that 'four words' of yours being too irresistible? "
"Sakura, that's not what you has just said. I was just thinking and it just happens to slip out from my mouth." Tomoyo was blushing like a red tomato and Meilin was smiling all her way.
"Sakura, calm down… I'm sure Tomoyo doesn't mean what you had just said. But anyway, how are you expecting your future husband looks like?" Meilin asked back as she knew Tomoyo would have no idea how she was going to reply Meilin.
"I-I-…"
"Why don't if I ask you to compare between my two cousins you met earlier today. Which one do you prefer?" Meilin asked. She knew that those two had no idea who they were marrying as the real one they were marrying are Xiao Lang and Eriol. And she wants to know if Tomoyo really prefers Eriol after today.
"Is it Xiao Lang?" Meilin asked and Tomoyo didn't answer but Sakura choked once more. After getting the piece down, she turned to Meilin.
"Meilin for goodness, no more about your cousins." Sakura stated. She didn't want to sound cold and mean but Meilin's cousins who Sakura only thought about was Xiao Lang only just gave her an unsure feeling when she's near him.
"Alright, alright. You sounded just like Xiao Lang. Then I guess it must be Eriol." And Meilin's guessing was right when Tomoyo was blushing even more.
Jackpot!
Meilin knew now that Tomoyo has something but who knows more for Eriol. Just in the second day and she got it!
That's definitely something for aunt to know later…
And Eriol… Tomoyo…
I'll make you both get along together…
